Older news:
Last Fall, my seminar group got a standing ovation for a silly song I wrote called "Ode to E. coli".
Here is a video recorded on my Palm Treo (so not the greatest quality), but you get the point...
Here is the You tube link:
Lyrics
Ode to E. coli
My name is E. coli, I never get scared
But I get kinda shaky when I look at Suzanne Baird
I know she is a danger, She told me it’s her dream
To catch me and my buddies in a strong aseptic stream…
Chorus:
I’m E - E. coli is my name
I’m just a normal flora
But I can cause you pain
If you think your life is hard, just come with me and spend one day
in a moist and murky place, Judy won’t even say.
I have to swim around, don’t have any legs
And the drug they send to kill me lord it smells like rotten eggs…
Repeat CHORUS
If don’t wash your hands, or you don’t wipe when you pee
To me and all my friends that just spells “opportunity”
We’ll march up your urethra, make your bladder our new home
And we’re gonna start a fire every time you have to go..
Repeat CHORUS
Does this song relate back to “Foundations”?,
That’s what Betsy wants to hear
Well Even Florence Nightingale….
Liked her urine to be clear…
From me - E. coli is my name I’m just a normal flora
And I don’t really wanna
But I’m gonna cause you pain.
Back to School, 2007:
I am entering a 24 month accelerated
